TXU ELECTRIC DELIVERY COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BUSINESS

Description of Business— TXU Electric Delivery is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TXU Corp. TXU Electric Delivery is a regulated electricity transmission and distribution company principally engaged in providing delivery services to REPs that sell power in the north-central, eastern and western parts of Texas. A significant portion of TXU Electric Delivery’s revenues represent fees for delivery services provided to TXU Energy Holdings. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, distribution revenues from TXU Energy Holdings represented 53% of TXU Electric Delivery’s distribution revenues and 47% of TXU Electric Delivery’s total revenues.

TXU Electric Delivery’s consolidated financial statements include its wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote financing subsidiary, TXU Electric Delivery Transition Bond Company LLC, which was organized for the limited purpose of issuing securitization (transition) bonds to recover regulatory asset stranded costs and other qualified costs.

TXU Electric Delivery is managed as an integrated business; therefore, there are no separate reportable business segments.

Basis of Presentation— The condensed consolidated financial statements of TXU Electric Delivery have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the US and on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in its 2005 Form 10-K. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included therein. All intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP, they should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the 2005 Form 10-K. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for a full year. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and tables in the notes are stated in millions of dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Changes in Accounting Standards ― In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48. FIN 48 provides clarification of the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109 and requires disclosure of tax benefits taken that do not qualify for financial statement recognition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. TXU Electric Delivery is currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard.

2. TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND SALE OF RECEIVABLES PROGRAM

As of June 30, 2006, the program funding to all TXU Corp. subsidiary participants (originators) totaled $700 million which is the maximum amount of funding currently available under the program. The program funding to TXU Electric Delivery as of June 30, 2006 totaled $92 million. Under certain circumstances, the amount of customer deposits held by the originators can reduce the amount of undivided interests that can be sold, thus reducing funding available under the program. Total funding availability under the program is reduced by 100% of customer deposits if TXU Energy Holdings’ fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 2.5 times; 50% if TXU Energy Holdings’ coverage ratio is less than 3.25 times, but at least 2.5 times; and zero % if TXU Energy Holdings’ coverage ratio is 3.25 times or more. The originators' customer deposits, which totaled $114 million, did not affect funding availability as TXU Energy Holdings’ coverage ratio was in excess of 3.25 times.

All new trade receivables under the program generated by TXU Electric Delivery are continuously purchased by TXU Receivables Company with the proceeds from collections of receivables previously purchased. Changes in the amount of funding under the program, through changes in the amount of undivided interests sold by TXU Receivables Company, reflect seasonal variations in the level of accounts receivable, changes in collection trends as well as other factors such as changes in sales prices and volumes. TXU Receivables Company has issued subordinated notes payable to TXU Electric Delivery for the difference between the face amount of the uncollected accounts receivable purchased, less a discount, and cash paid to TXU Electric Delivery that was funded by the sale of the undivided interests. The balance of the subordinated notes issued to TXU Electric Delivery, which is reported in trade accounts receivable, was $56 million and $47 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

The discount from face amount on the purchase of receivables principally funds program fees paid by TXU Receivables Company to the funding entities. The program fees (losses on sale for accounting purposes) for TXU Electric Delivery, which consist primarily of interest costs on the underlying financing, were $3 million and $1 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and approximated 5.4% and 3.7% for the first six months of 2006 and 2005, respectively, of the average funding under the program on an annualized basis. These fees represent the net incremental costs of the program to TXU Electric Delivery and are reported in operation and maintenance expenses.

The accounts receivable balance reported in the June 30, 2006 consolidated balance sheet has been reduced by $148 million face amount of trade accounts receivable from nonaffiliates sold to TXU Receivables Company, partially offset by the inclusion of $56 million of subordinated notes receivable from TXU Receivables Company. Funding under the program increased $3 million to $92 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and decreased $5 million to $57 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Funding increases or decreases under the program are reflected as operating cash flow activity in the statement of cash flows. The carrying amount of the retained interests in the accounts receivable approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of the collection period.

Activities of TXU Receivables Company related to TXU Electric Delivery for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2006			2005

Cash collections on accounts receivable	$	567		$	426
Face amount of new receivables purchased		(579	)		(425	)
Discount from face amount of purchased receivables		3			1
Program fees paid		(3	)		(1	)
Increase in subordinated notes payable		9			4
Operating cash flows used by (provided to) TXU Electric Delivery under the program	$	(3	)	$	5

Upon termination of the program, cash flows to TXU Electric Delivery would be delayed as collections of sold receivables would be used by TXU Receivables Company to repurchase the undivided interests sold instead of purchasing new receivables. The level of cash flows would normalize in approximately 16 to 30 days.

Contingencies Related to Sale of Receivables Program — Although TXU Receivables Company expects to be able to pay its subordinated notes from the collections of purchased receivables, these notes are subordinated to the undivided interests of the financial institutions in those receivables, and collections might not be sufficient to pay the subordinated notes. The program may be terminated if either of the following events occurs:

1)		all of the originators cease to maintain their required fixed charge coverage ratio and debt to capital (leverage) ratio; or
2)		the delinquency ratio (delinquent for 31 days) for the sold receivables, the default ratio (delinquent for 91 days or deemed uncollectible), the dilution ratio (reductions for discounts, disputes and other allowances) or the days collection outstanding ratio exceed stated thresholds and the financial institutions do not waive such event of termination. The thresholds apply to the entire portfolio of sold receivables, not separately to the receivables of each originator.

Trade Accounts Receivable—

	June 30,			December 31,
	2006			2005
Gross trade accounts receivable	$	390		$	377
Trade accounts receivable from TXU Energy Holdings		(179	)		(171	)
Undivided interests in accounts receivable sold by TXU Receivables Company		(148	)		(136	)

Allowance for uncollectible accounts related to undivided interests in receivables retained		(7	)		(5	)
Trade accounts receivable from nonaffiliates ― net	$	112		$	112

Gross trade accounts receivable at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 included unbilled revenues of $123 million and $112 million, respectively.

Allowances related to receivables sold are reported in current liabilities and totaled $1 million at both June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.

4. SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY

No shares of TXU Electric Delivery’s common stock are held by or for its own account, nor are any shares of such capital stock reserved for its officers and employees or for options, warrants, conversions or other rights in connection therewith.

Noncash contributions― Effective January 1, 2005, TXU Electric Delivery and TXU Energy Holdings entered into an agreement whereby TXU Electric Delivery assumed responsibility for pension and other postretirement benefit costs for all applicable employees of the regulated predecessor integrated electric utility (i.e. certain TXU Energy Holdings’ active and retired employees) related to employee service prior to unbundling (see Note 7 for additional information related to this agreement). In connection with this agreement, in the first quarter of 2006 TXU Electric Delivery recorded a $15 million credit to its common stock account for the noncash contribution of pension-related assets.

Under SFAS 123R, incentive compensation expense related to TXU Corp.’s share-based awards to TXU Electric Delivery’s employees is accounted for as a noncash capital contribution from the parent. Accordingly, TXU Electric Delivery recorded a credit of $1 million and $3 million to its common stock account for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

The increase in common stock in 2006 also reflects excess tax benefits arising from the distribution date value of the share-based awards exceeding the reported compensation expense of the awards (which is based on fair value of the awards at grant date).

Dividends ― In March 2006, TXU Electric Delivery declared a cash dividend to TXU Corp. of $85 million, which was paid in April 2006. In July 2006, TXU Electric Delivery declared a cash dividend to TXU Corp. of $85 million, which was paid in July 2006.

In the second quarter of 2006, TXU Electric Delivery distributed its mineral interests in natural gas and oil to TXU Corp. in the form of a dividend. The dividend was recorded at the book value of the interests, which was zero. These mineral interests were acquired as part of land purchases over the years to support the expansion of the transmission and distribution system and not for the mineral development, and no value was attributed to the mineral interests at the time of acquisition.

The following table presents the changes to common stock equity during the six months ended June 30, 2006:

	Common Stock		Retained Earnings			Accumulated Other Comprehensive Gain (Loss)			Total Shareholder’s Equity

Balance at December 31, 2005	$	1,952	$	1,004		$	(21	)	$	2,935

Guarantees — As discussed below, TXU Electric Delivery has entered into contracts that contain guarantees to outside parties that could require performance or payment under certain conditions. Accounting rules require the recording of a liability for the fair value of guarantees entered into or modified subsequent to December 31, 2002.

Residual value guarantees in operating leases — TXU Electric Delivery is the lessee under various operating leases that obligate it to guarantee the residual values of the leased assets. At June 30, 2006, both the aggregate maximum amount of residual values guaranteed and the estimated residual recoveries totaled approximately $27 million. These leased assets consist primarily of vehicles used in distribution activities. A significant portion of the maximum guarantee amount relates to leases entered into prior to December 31, 2002. The average life of the lease portfolio is approximately three years.

Legal Proceedings ―TXU Electric Delivery is involved in various legal and administrative proceedings in the normal course of business the ultimate resolution of which, in the opinion of management, should not have a material effect upon its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental Contingencies ― TXU Electric Delivery must comply with environmental laws and regulations applicable to the handling and disposal of hazardous waste. TXU Electric Delivery is in compliance with all current laws and regulations; however, the impact, if any, of any changes to existing regulations or the implementation of new regulations is not determinable. The costs to comply with environmental regulations can be significantly affected by the following external events or conditions:

·	changes to existing state or federal regulation by governmental authorities having jurisdiction over control of toxic substances and hazardous and solid wastes, and other environmental matters;

·	the identification of additional sites requiring clean-up or the filing of other complaints in which TXU Electric Delivery may be asserted to be a potential responsible party.

6. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The following represent significant related-party transactions of TXU Electric Delivery:

TXU Electric Delivery records revenue from TXU Energy Holdings for electricity delivery fees and other miscellaneous revenues, which totaled $284 million and $304 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $551 million and $615 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

TXU Electric Delivery records interest income from TXU Energy Holdings with respect to TXU Electric Delivery’s generation-related regulatory assets, which have been securitized through the issuance of transition bonds by TXU Electric Delivery. The interest income serves to offset TXU Electric Delivery’s interest expense on the transition bonds. This interest income totaled $13 million and $14 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $27 million and $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The incremental income taxes TXU Electric Delivery will pay on the increased delivery fees to be charged to TXU Electric Delivery’s customers related to the transition bonds will be reimbursed by TXU Energy Holdings. Therefore, TXU Electric Delivery’s financial statements reflect a receivable of $373 million from TXU Energy Holdings ($33 million reported as current assets) at June 30, 2006 and $395 million ($33 million reported as current assets) at December 31, 2005.

Short-term advances from parent totaled $25 million and $23 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The average daily balances of short-term advances from parent totaled $42 million and $83 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and the weighted average interest rates for the respective periods were 5.34% and 3.72%. Average daily short-term advances from parent totaled $37 million and $93 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and the weighted average interest rates for the respective periods were 5.16% and 3.70%. Interest expense incurred on the advances totaled approximately $570 thousand and $770 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $1 million and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

TXU Corp. charges TXU Electric Delivery for financial, accounting and other administrative services at cost. These costs, which are reported in operation and maintenance expenses, totaled $9 million and $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $20 million and $15 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Under Texas regulatory provisions, the trust fund for decommissioning the Comanche Peak nuclear generation facility, reported on TXU Energy Holdings’ balance sheet, is funded by a delivery fee surcharge collected from REPs by TXU Electric Delivery and remitted to TXU Energy Holdings, with the intent that the trust fund assets will be sufficient to fund the decommissioning liability, also reported on TXU Energy Holdings’ balance sheet. Income and expenses associated with the trust fund and the decommissioning liability incurred by TXU Energy Holdings are offset by a net change in the TXU Electric Delivery and TXU Energy Holdings intercompany receivable/payable, which in turn results in a change in a net regulatory asset/liability. The regulatory asset, which totaled $12 million and $8 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, and is reported on TXU Electric Delivery’s balance sheet, represents the excess of the decommissioning liability over the trust fund balance.

TXU Electric Delivery has a 19.5% limited partnership interest, with a carrying value of $6 million and $8 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, in a TXU Corp. subsidiary holding Capgemini-related assets. Equity losses related to this interest totaled $1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and $2 million and $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These losses primarily represent amortization of software assets held by the subsidiary.

TXU Corp. files a consolidated federal income tax return, and federal income taxes are allocated to subsidiaries based on their respective taxable income or loss. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, TXU Electric Delivery had a federal income tax payable to TXU Corp. of $38 million and $181 million, respectively.

See Notes 2, 4 and 7 for information regarding the accounts receivable securitization program and related subordinated notes receivable from TXU Receivables Company, dividends to TXU Corp. and the assumption of certain TXU Energy Holdings’ pension and other postretirement benefit costs, respectively.

7. SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits — TXU Electric Delivery is a participating employer in the pension plan sponsored by TXU Corp. TXU Electric Delivery also participates with TXU Corp. and other subsidiaries of TXU Corp. to offer health care and life insurance benefits to eligible employees and their eligible dependents upon the retirement of such employees. The allocated pension and other postretirement benefit costs applicable to TXU Electric Delivery totaled $25 million and $20 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $50 million and $38 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The net amounts recognized in earnings (net of amounts deferred principally as a regulatory asset or property) related to pension and other postretirement benefits totaled an expense of $5 million and a credit of $5 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and expenses of $9 million and $8 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amounts deferred are ultimately subject to regulatory approval.

The discount rate reflected in net pension and other postretirement benefit costs in 2006 is 5.75%. The expected rate of return on plan assets reflected in the 2006 cost amounts is 8.75% for the pension plan and 8.67% for other postretirement benefits.

In June 2005, an amendment to PURA relating to pension and other postretirement benefits was enacted by the Texas Legislature. This amendment, which was retroactively effective January 1, 2005, provides for the recovery by TXU Electric Delivery of pension and other postretirement benefit costs for all applicable former employees of the regulated predecessor integrated electric utility (i.e., certain TXU Energy Holdings’ active and retired employees) related to employee service prior to the unbundling of TXU Corp.’s electric utility business and the deregulation of the Texas electricity industry effective January 1, 2002. TXU Electric Delivery and TXU Energy Holdings have entered into an agreement whereby TXU Electric Delivery assumes responsibility for pension and other postretirement benefit costs for all applicable employees of TXU Energy Holdings. In connection with this agreement, in 2005 TXU Electric Delivery recorded a $146 million charge to its common stock account for the noncash assumption of the pension obligation. In addition, during 2006 TXU Electric Delivery recorded a $15 million credit to its common stock account for the noncash contribution of pension-related assets.

The amendment additionally authorizes TXU Electric Delivery to establish a regulatory asset or liability for the difference between the amounts of pension and other postretirement benefits approved in current billing rates and the actual amounts that would otherwise have been recorded as charges or credits to earnings. Accordingly, in the second quarter of 2005 TXU Electric Delivery began deferring (principally as a regulatory asset or property) additional pension and postretirement benefit costs for the effect of the amendment. In the second quarter of 2005, TXU Electric Delivery deferred $19 million (as a regulatory asset or property) in pension and postretirement benefit costs for the effect of the amendment from January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005.

Cities Rate Settlement— In January 2006, TXU Electric Delivery agreed with a steering committee representing 108 cities in Texas (Cities) to defer the filing of a system-wide rate case with the Commission to no later than June 30, 2008 (based on a test year ending December 31, 2007), unless the Cities and TXU Electric Delivery mutually agree that such a filing is unnecessary. TXU Electric Delivery is currently in the process of extending the benefits of the agreement to 291 nonlitigant cities. Based on the final agreements and assuming the remaining nonlitigant cities participate, expected payments to the cities are estimated to total approximately $70 million, including incremental franchise taxes.

This amount is being recognized in earnings over the period from May 2006 through June 2008. Expense recognized in the second quarter of 2006, which represents incremental franchise taxes, totaled approximately $3 million and is reported as taxes other than income in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Income.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of TXU Electric Delivery Company:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of TXU Electric Delivery Company and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2006, and the related condensed statements of consolidated income and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2005, and the related statements of consolidated income, comprehensive income, shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 1, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BUSINESS

TXU Electric Delivery is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TXU Corp. TXU Electric Delivery is a regulated electricity transmission and distribution company principally engaged in providing delivery services to REPs that sell power in the north-central, eastern and western parts of Texas. A significant portion of TXU Electric Delivery’s revenues represent fees for delivery services provided to TXU Energy Holdings. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, distribution revenues from TXU Energy Holdings represented 53% of TXU Electric Delivery’s distribution revenues and 47% of TXU Electric Delivery’s total revenues.

TXU Electric Delivery’s financial statements include its wholly-owned, bankruptcy remote financing subsidiary, TXU Electric Delivery Transition Bond Company LLC, which was organized for the limited purpose of issuing securitization (transition) bonds to recover regulatory asset stranded costs and other qualified costs.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

New Joint Venture and Services Agreement

In June 2006, TXU Corp. announced the formation of InfrastruX Energy Services, a joint venture of TXU Corp. and InfrastruX Group, which is a national provider of utility-related construction and maintenance services. TXU Corp. also announced an agreement between TXU Electric Delivery and InfrastruX Energy Services under which TXU Electric Delivery will receive construction, power restoration, maintenance and other services from the joint venture. The services agreement has a total value of $8.7 billion over the ten-year term. The arrangement is conditional upon InfrastruX Group refinancing its debt obligations by October 1, 2006.

Under the terms of the arrangement, over 2,000 TXU Electric Delivery employees are expected to be transferred to the joint venture in the fourth quarter of 2006. These employees represent essentially all of TXU Electric Delivery’s field operations personnel, consisting primarily of construction, maintenance and engineering staff. InfrastruX Group expects to contribute all its operations to the joint venture, including its 3,000 current employees. These operations generated revenues of approximately $400 million in 2005. In addition, TXU Electric Delivery (through TXU Corp.) expects to contribute approximately $30 million in tools and other equipment to the joint venture and also expects to sell approximately $60 million in inventory, principally poles and wire, to the joint venture. TXU Electric Delivery expects to incur transition expenses related to the arrangement of up to $12 million, all in 2006.

Technology Initiatives

In April 2006, TXU Electric Delivery executed the previously disclosed agreement with CURRENT Communications Group, LLC (CURRENT), to utilize TXU Electric Delivery’s power distribution network as a broadband-enabled “Smart Grid.” CURRENT plans to design, build and operate the “broadband over power line” (BPL) network covering the majority of the TXU Electric Delivery service area. Under the terms of the agreement with CURRENT, once the BPL network is in operation (estimated to be late 2006), TXU Electric Delivery expects to incur service fees totaling approximately $150 million over a 10 year period to utilize the Smart Grid capabilities of CURRENT’s BPL network.

Overlaid on the existing electric distribution network, the CURRENT BPL network solution will incorporate advanced digital communication and computing capabilities that, for the first time, provide real-time monitoring through the electric distribution network, enabling TXU Electric Delivery to:

·	increase network reliability and power quality;

·	prevent, detect and restore customer outages more effectively; and

·	efficiently implement automated meter reading.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

TXU Electric Delivery is managed as an integrated business; therefore, there are no reportable business segments.

All dollar amounts in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (including the tables) are stated in millions of US dollars unless otherwise indicated.

TXU Electric Delivery’s future results are expected to be impacted by the effects of the cities rate settlement described below under “Regulation and Rates.” The cities rate settlement is expected to result in incremental expenses of approximately $70 million, recognized almost entirely over the period from May 2006 through June 2008.

__________________________

(a) SAIDI is the average number of electric service outage minutes per customer in a year. SAIFI is the average number of electric service interruptions per customer in a year. CAIDI is the average duration in minutes of interruptions to electric service in a year. The statistics presented are based on the preceding twelve months' data.

(b) Includes lighting sites, primarily guard lights, for which TXU Energy Holdings is the REP but are not included in TXU Energy Holdings’ customer count. Such sites totaled 84,362 and 88,242 at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

(c) Includes transition charges to customers associated with the issuance of securitization bonds totaling $37 million and $35 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $73 million and $68 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Also includes disconnect/reconnect fees and other discretionary revenues for services requested by REPs.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2005

Operating revenues increased $40 million, or 7%, to $604 million in 2006. Delivered volumes rose 7%. The revenue increase reflected:

·	an estimated $22 million in higher revenues from the effect of warmer weather;

·	$6 million in higher transmission revenues primarily due to rate increases approved in 2005 and 2006 to recover ongoing investment in the transmission system;

·	$4 million due to growth in points of delivery;

·	$3 million from increased distribution tariffs to recover higher transmission costs; and

·	$2 million in higher transition charges to customers due to annual and interim rate updates (offset by higher amortization of the related securitized regulatory asset).

Operation and maintenance expense increased $13 million, or 7%, to $201 million in 2006. The increase reflected:

·	$10 million credit in 2005 related to pension and other postretirement plan costs transferred to a regulatory asset or property as a result of an amendment to PURA. See Note 7 to Financial Statements;

·	$7 million increased spending for vegetation management; and

·	$5 million in increased fees paid to third party transmission entities,

partially offset by,

·	$4 million decrease in certain health benefits; and

·	$4 million for other individually insignificant items.

Depreciation and amortization increased $9 million, or 8%, to $117 million in 2006. The increase reflected $6 million in higher depreciation due to normal additions and replacements of property, plant, and equipment and $2 million in higher amortization of the regulatory assets associated with the securitization bonds (offset in revenues).

Taxes other than income increased $3 million, or 3%, to $94 million in 2006 largely due to increased franchise taxes related to the agreed upon higher assessments under the cities rate settlement described below under “Regulation and Rates.”

Other deductions totaled $2 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. See Note 7 to Financial Statements for additional detail.

Income tax expense was $46 million in 2006 (including $44 million related to operating income and $2 million related to nonoperating income) compared to $35 million in 2005. The 2005 amount included a $4 million tax benefit arising from the settlement of the IRS audit for the 1994 through 1996 tax years. Excluding the impact of this item, the effective tax rate was 34.8% in 2006 compared to 32.2% in 2005. This increase is due primarily to the timing of state income tax expense in 2006.

Interest expense increased $4 million, or 6%, to $72 million in 2006 primarily due to higher average borrowings.

Net income remained flat at $86 million as higher revenues were offset by increases in operating and maintenance expenses, depreciation, taxes and interest. Net pension and postretirement benefit costs reduced net income by $3 million in 2006 and increased net income by $3 million in 2005.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Operating revenues increased $52 million, or 5%, to $1.2 billion in 2006. Delivered volumes rose 3%. The revenue increase reflected:

·	an estimated $18 million in higher revenues from the effect of warmer weather;

·	$12 million in higher transmission revenues primarily due to rate increases approved in 2005 and 2006 to recover ongoing investment in the transmission system;

·	$8 million due to growth in points of delivery;

·	$5 million in higher transition charges to customers due to annual and interim rate updates (offset by higher amortization of the related securitized regulatory asset); and

·	$4 million from increased distribution tariffs to recover higher transmission costs.

Operation and maintenance expense increased $23 million, or 6%, to $404 million in 2006. The increase reflected:

·	$10 million increased spending for vegetation management;

·	$9 million in increased fees paid to third party transmission entities; and

·	$6 million in higher shared services costs due primarily to executive severance expenses,

partially offset by $2 million in lower incentive compensation expense.

Depreciation and amortization increased $18 million, or 8%, to $231 million in 2006. The increase reflected $11 million in higher depreciation due to normal additions and replacements of property, plant, and equipment and $5 million in higher amortization of the regulatory assets associated with the securitization bonds (offset in revenues).

Taxes other than income increased $6 million, or 3%, to $191 million in 2006 largely due to increased franchise taxes related to the agreed upon higher assessments under the cities rate settlement described below under “Regulation and Rates.”

Other income totaled $1 million and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Other deductions totaled $4 million and $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. See Note 7 to Financial Statements for additional detail.

Income tax expense was $75 million in 2006 (including $67 million related to operating income and $8 million related to nonoperating income) compared to $66 million in 2005. The 2005 amount included a $4 million tax benefit arising from the settlement of the IRS audit for the 1994 through 1996 tax years. Excluding the impact of this item, the effective tax rate was 33.2% in 2006 compared to 31.4% in 2005. This increase is due primarily to the timing of state income tax expense in 2006.

Interest expense increased $4 million, or 3%, to $140 million in 2006 due to higher average borrowings.

Net income decreased $6 million, or 4%, to $151 million. This decline reflected increases in operation and maintenance expenses, depreciation, taxes and interest, largely offset by higher revenues. Net pension and postretirement benefit costs reduced net income by $6 million in 2006 and $5 million in 2005.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows — Cash flow from operating activities totaled $108 million and $249 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The $141 million decrease was driven by higher federal income tax payments to TXU Corp. due to increased taxable earnings for the 2005 year as compared to the 2004 year and the expiration of bonus depreciation in 2004 as provided for by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003.

Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $347 million in 2006 compared to $123 million in 2005. The activity reflected:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2006			2005

Net issuances and repayments of borrowings (including advances from parent)	$	495		$	91
Common stock dividends		(170	)		―
Decrease in note receivable from TXU Energy Holdings		22			32
Total	$	347		$	123

Investing activities, which consisted primarily of capital expenditures, totaled $469 million in 2006 and $369 million in 2005. The activity reflected:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2006			2005

Capital expenditures	$	(452	)	$	(371	)
Reduction in restricted cash		2			11
Property removal costs		(22	)		(22	)
Other net, including property recoveries		3			13
Total	$	(469	)	$	(369	)

The $81 million, or 22%, increase in capital expenditures reflected investment to enhance system load monitoring and outage detection and to support growth in points of delivery in ERCOT, as well as to purchase and install automated meter reading devices.

Credit Facilities— Available liquidity under credit facilities to which TXU Electric Delivery has direct and indirect access (to the extent made available by affiliates) totaled $3.8 billion at June 30, 2006 and $4.1 billion at July 25, 2006. These credit facilities are used for working capital and general corporate purposes including providing support for issuances of commercial paper and for issuing letters of credit. See Note 3 to Financial Statements for details of the arrangements.

Short-term Borrowings — TXU Electric Delivery’s commercial paper outstanding totaled $592 million at June 30, 2006 and $676 million at July 25, 2006. The commercial paper funds short-term liquidity requirements.

Equity — TXU Electric Delivery’s cash distributions may take the legal form of common stock share repurchases or the payment of dividends on outstanding shares of its common stock. The form of the distributions is primarily determined by current and forecasted levels of retained earnings. The common stock share repurchases made subsequent to January 1, 2002 have been cash distributions that for financial reporting purposes have been recorded as a return of capital. Any future cash distributions will be reported (i) as a return of capital if made through repurchases or (ii) as a dividend if so declared by the board of directors. Cash distributions through common stock share repurchases reduce the amount of TXU Electric Delivery's equity, but do not change TXU Corp.’s 100% ownership of TXU Electric Delivery.

Sale of Accounts Receivable— TXU Electric Delivery participates in an accounts receivable securitization program established by TXU Corp. for certain of its subsidiaries, the activity under which is accounted for as a sale of accounts receivable in accordance with SFAS 140. Under the program, TXU Electric Delivery sells trade accounts receivable to TXU Receivables Company, a wholly-owned bankruptcy-remote direct subsidiary of TXU Corp., which sells undivided interests in the purchased accounts receivable for cash to special purpose entities established by financial institutions. All new trade receivables under the program generated by TXU Electric Delivery are continuously purchased by TXU Receivables Company with the proceeds from collections of receivables previously purchased. Funding to TXU Electric Delivery under the program totaled $92 million and $89 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. See Note 2 to Financial Statements for a more complete description of the program including the impact on the financial statements for the periods presented and the contingencies that could result in termination of the program.

Financial Covenants, Credit Rating Provisions and Cross Default Provisions— The terms of certain financing arrangements of TXU Electric Delivery contain financial covenants that require maintenance of specified fixed charge coverage ratios and leverage ratios and/or contain minimum net worth covenants. As of June 30, 2006, TXU Electric Delivery was in compliance with all such applicable covenants.

Credit Ratings

Current credit ratings for TXU Corp. and certain of its subsidiaries are presented below:


	TXU Corp.	US Holdings	TXU Electric Delivery	TXU Energy Holdings
	(Senior Unsecured)	(Senior Unsecured)	(Senior Unsecured)	(Senior Unsecured)
S&P	BB+	BB+	BBB-	BBB-
Moody’s	Ba1	Baa3	Baa2	Baa2
Fitch	BBB-	BBB-	BBB+	BBB

Moody’s currently maintains a stable outlook for TXU Corp., US Holdings, TXU Energy Holdings and TXU Electric Delivery. Fitch’s outlook is negative for TXU Corp., US Holdings and TXU Energy Holdings and stable for TXU Electric Delivery. S&P’s outlook is negative for TXU Corp., US Holdings, TXU Energy Holdings and TXU Electric Delivery. These ratings are investment grade, except for Moody’s and S&P’s rating of TXU Corp.’s senior unsecured debt and S&P’s rating of US Holdings’ senior unsecured debt, which are one notch below investment grade.

Commercial paper issued by TXU Energy Holdings and TXU Electric Delivery has been rated P2 by Moody’s and F2 by Fitch and has not been rated by S&P.

A rating reflects only the view of a rating agency, and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Any rating can be revised upward or downward at any time by a rating agency if such rating agency decides that circumstances warrant such a change.

Material Cross Default Provisions

Certain financing arrangements contain provisions that would result in an event of default if there were a failure under other financing arrangements to meet payment terms or to observe other covenants that would result in an acceleration of payments due. Such provisions are referred to as “cross default” provisions.

A default by TXU Energy Holdings or TXU Electric Delivery or any subsidiary thereof in respect of indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of $50 million would result in a cross default under joint credit facilities totaling $4.5 billion. Under these credit facilities, a default by TXU Energy Holdings or any subsidiary thereof would cause the maturity of outstanding balances under such facility to be accelerated as to TXU Energy Holdings but not as to TXU Electric Delivery. Also, under these credit facilities, a default by TXU Electric Delivery or any subsidiary thereof would cause the maturity of outstanding balances under such facility to be accelerated as to TXU Electric Delivery but not as to TXU Energy Holdings.

The accounts receivable securitization program (see Note 2 to Financial Statements) also contains a cross default provision with a threshold of $50 million applicable to each of the originators under the program. TXU Receivables Company and TXU Business Services Company each have a cross default threshold of $50 thousand. If either an originator, TXU Business Services or TXU Receivables Company defaults on indebtedness of the applicable threshold, the facility could terminate.

Other arrangements, including leases, have cross default provisions, the triggering of which would not result in a significant effect on liquidity.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Subsidiaries of TXU Corp. participate in an accounts receivable securitization program. See discussion above under “Sale of Accounts Receivable” and in Note 2 to Financial Statements.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

See Note 5 to Financial Statements for details of contingencies, including guarantees.

REGULATION AND RATES

Transmission Rates — In February 2006, TXU Electric Delivery filed an application for an interim update of its wholesale transmission rate. The Commission approved the application at its April 28, 2006 open meeting, and the new rate went into effect immediately. Annualized revenues are expected to increase by approximately $19 million. Approximately $12 million of this increase is recoverable through transmission rates charged to wholesale customers, and the remaining $7 million is recoverable from REPs through the retail transmission cost recovery factor (TCRF) component of TXU Electric Delivery’s delivery rates charged to REPs.

In order to recover increased affiliate and third-party transmission costs from REPs, TXU Electric Delivery is allowed to request an update twice a year to the TCRF component of its retail delivery rate. On July 14, 2006, an application was filed to update the TCRF, to be effective September 1, 2006, and will result in an estimated annualized increase of $24 million in the TCRF component of TXU Electric Delivery’s retail delivery rates charged to REPs. This amount includes $7 million of the wholesale transmission rate increase described in the preceding paragraph.

Automated Meter Reading —In 2005, the Texas legislature passed legislation that authorized utilities to impose a surcharge to recover costs incurred in deploying advanced metering and meter information networks. Benefits of the advanced metering installation include improved safety, on-demand meter reading, enhanced outage identification and restoration and system monitoring of voltages. At June 30, 2006, TXU Electric Delivery had installed approximately 163,000 advanced meters in its service territory and anticipates installation of approximately 370,000 automated meters by year-end, which would represent approximately 12% of the meters on the distribution system. TXU Electric Delivery anticipates filing a surcharge request in the near future to seek recovery of investment costs incurred.

Cities Rate Settlement— As previously disclosed, in January 2006, TXU Electric Delivery agreed with a steering committee representing 108 cities in Texas (Cities) to defer the filing of a system-wide rate case with the Commission to no later than June 30, 2008 (based on a test year ending December 31, 2007), unless the Cities and TXU Electric Delivery mutually agree that such a filing is unnecessary. TXU Electric Delivery is currently in the process of extending the benefits of the agreement to 291 nonlitigant cities. Based on the final agreements and assuming the remaining nonlitigant cities participate, expected payments to the cities are estimated to total approximately $70 million, including incremental franchise taxes.

This amount is being recognized in earnings over the period from May 2006 through June 2008. Payments under the agreement are expected to be made until new tariffs are effective, which based upon an assumed June 2008 rate case filing, is projected to be mid-2009. Payments under the agreement are expected to total approximately $17 million in 2006, $30 million in 2007, $16 million in 2008 and $7 million in 2009. Also see Note 7 to Financial Statements.

Texas Legislative Special Session — The 79^th Texas Legislature completed its 3^rd special session in May 2006. The session resulted in a reform to the Texas franchise tax system and the enactment of a property tax relief law.

The Texas franchise tax system is being replaced with a new tax system, referred to as the Texas margin tax. The Texas margin tax is a significant change in Texas tax law because it generally makes all legal entities subject to tax, including general and limited partnerships, while the current franchise tax system applies only to corporations and limited liability companies. The effective date of the Texas margin tax is January 1, 2008 for calendar year-end companies and the computation of tax liability will be based on TXU Corp.’s consolidated 2007 revenues as reduced by certain deductions. The new margin tax is expected to decrease TXU Electric Delivery’s annual state franchise tax expense by approximately $15 million beginning in 2007.

The property tax relief law is expected to reduce school taxes assessed to TXU Electric Delivery by an estimated $6 million in 2006 and $22 million annually in 2007 and subsequent years (based on current property values and without regard to any property additions).

Summary— Although TXU Electric Delivery cannot predict future regulatory or legislative actions or any changes in economic and securities market conditions, no changes are expected in trends or commitments, other than those discussed in this report, which might significantly alter its basic financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk that TXU Electric Delivery may experience a loss in value as a result of changes in market conditions such as interest rates, which TXU Electric Delivery is exposed to in the ordinary course of business. TXU Electric Delivery enters into financial instruments to manage interest rate risk related to its indebtedness.

Except as discussed below, the information required hereunder is not significantly different from the information set forth in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included in the 2005 Form 10-K and is therefore not presented herein.

CREDIT RISK

Credit Risk — Credit risk relates to the risk of loss associated with nonperformance by counterparties. TXU Electric Delivery’s customers consist primarily of REPs, including TXU Energy Holdings. As a prerequisite for obtaining and maintaining certification, a REP must meet the financial resource standards established by the Commission. REP certificates granted by the Commission are subject to suspension and revocation for significant violation of PURA and Commission rules. Significant violations include failure to timely remit payments for invoiced charges to a transmission and distribution utility pursuant to the terms of tariffs approved by the Commission.

Credit Exposure — TXU Electric Delivery’s exposure to credit risk as of June 30, 2006 primarily represents trade accounts receivable, which totaled $179 million from TXU Energy Holdings and $211 million from unaffiliated customers. The unaffiliated customer receivable amount is inclusive of $92 million of accounts receivables sold and is before the allowance for uncollectible accounts. TXU Electric Delivery has one customer, with a net uncollateralized balance of $30 million, that represents more than 10% of the unaffiliated trade receivable amount at June 30, 2006. The customer is noninvestment grade quality; however, the customer has consistently performed its obligations in accordance with its agreement.

TXU Electric Delivery is also exposed to credit risk related to the Capgemini put option with a carrying value of $51 million. Subject to certain terms and conditions, Cap Gemini North America, Inc. and its parent, Cap Gemini S.A., have guaranteed the performance and payment obligations of Capgemini under the services agreement, as well as the payment in connection with the put option. S&P currently maintains a BB+ rating with a stable outlook for Cap Gemini S. A.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report and other presentations made by TXU Electric Delivery contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

·	the ability of TXU Electric Delivery to implement cost reduction initiatives and effectively execute its growth strategy.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and TXU Electric Delivery undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for TXU Electric Delivery to predict all of them, nor can TXU Electric Delivery assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of TXU Electric Delivery’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures in effect as of the end of the current period included in this quarterly report. Based on the evaluation performed, TXU Electric Delivery’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Reference is made to the discussion in Note 5 regarding legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Other than risk factors presented below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the 2005 Form 10-K as updated by the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2006 (“March 2006 10-Q”). The risk factors below update, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors disclosed in the 2005 Form 10-K and March 2006 10-Q.

InfrastruX Energy Services faces challenges to transition into a consolidated and independent business. It may not be able to provide TXU Electric Delivery sufficient services.

TXU Corp. has agreed to form a joint venture with InfrastruX Group. This joint venture, InfrastruX Energy Services, will have to undertake significant actions to integrate the legacy operations of InfrastruX Group, Inc. with the functions required under the services agreement with TXU Electric Delivery prior to the commencement of InfrastruX Energy Services’ operations. InfrastruX Energy Services may not have sufficient resources to adequately complete these actions on a timely basis. If these actions cannot be accomplished, the operational performance of InfrastruX Energy Services and its ability to provide services to TXU Electric Delivery could be adversely affected.

The ownership structure of InfrastruX Energy Services and the services agreement between it and TXU Electric Delivery are designed to ensure that TXU Electric Delivery receives sufficient services to provide service to its customers, but may not operate as planned. In this case, TXU Electric Delivery will have to identify an alternative means to acquire sufficient asset services because it will no longer have an internal asset services function. TXU Electric Delivery may not be able to readily find replacement services and such services may be more costly than those provided by InfrastruX Energy Services. Should TXU Electric Delivery wish to terminate or materially modify the services agreement, InfrastruX Energy Services and TXU Electric Delivery would also incur transition costs. Failure to obtain sufficient services and costs to acquire replacement services (including transition costs) could adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of TXU Electric Delivery.
